Having a good Java IDE around (e.g. Eclipse or IntelliJ) certainly
helps, though not so much in developing a comprehensive mental model
of how everything fits together.
Some years ago, Chris Houser worked at building static visualizations
of the core Clojure interfaces and abstract implementations, and how
those fed into the concrete implementations of maps, seqs, etc. that
we use daily:
https://github.com/Chouser/clojure-classes/blob/master/graph-w-legend.png
I had similar objectives, but wanted to tie implementation details
(e.g. the Java interfaces that Clojure defined) together with related
functions, and the higher-level concepts that further related those
functions to others, etc. Add in a dynamic visualization, and you get
Clojure Atlas:
http://www.clojureatlas.com
For example, here's the atlas focused on graph around
PersistentHashMap, the concrete implementation behind e.g. `{:a 1 :b 2}
`:
